Ex-Pakistan PM's convicted son-in-law surrenders to police!

Safdar went into hiding after an anti-graft court convicted him last Friday.

Police in Pakistan say the convicted son-in-law of former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, has been arrested after he resurfaced in the garrison city of Rawalpindi leading a rally of supporters.Mohammad Safdar dramatically appeared with hundreds of supporters, marching down the city's streets Sunday for hours with the crowd growing. The former ruling party, Pakistan Muslim League, capitalised on Safdar's rally to mobilize supporters ahead of the July 25 polls.

Officer Raja Taifur said anti-graft authorities took Safdar into custody.

Safdar went into hiding after an anti-graft court convicted him last Friday, along with former premier Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz, over purchases of luxury apartments in London.

Sharif was given a ten-year jail term and Maryam seven years, but Safdar was given one year for abetment.
